Working with Lana before publishing my book was a truly valuable experience. She helped me refine important details—like checking if my chosen title was already in use and rewriting the book summary to make it more captivating and aligned with the essence of the book. She also shared her perspective on whether to work with a publisher or publish independently, which helped me see things more clearly. What I appreciated most was how generous she was with her time and how patient she remained throughout the process. Her support gave me clarity and confidence during a crucial stage of my journey.
